May 7, 2012 - 16" x 20" Acrylic on Canvas
I'm not sure how, but I somehow forgot to post this when it was completed. It's the feature painting at my current show in Davis.
The image is from a photo I took in the neighborhood while on a bike ride with my daughter.I went with a two different styles (typically a no-no) but I wanted an impressionistic background and a highly detailed flower. I'm pleased with the outcome and, as I've told students, that's the most important thing.
I used a pretty simple palette of pthalo blue, cad yellow and cad red. I added some cadmium orange to the gerbera daisies, burnt umber to the ground cover, cerulean blue to the foliage under the daisies and the tulip is medium magenta with titanium white.
